At last a man has been found who believes four years spent in college are worth while even if the student doesn't graduate with a Phi Beta Kapp:, key. Lloyd Corrigan, a Beta from the University of California and a member of the Paramount scenario department, feels that the four years of social contacts and rubbing shoul ders with young men and women are quite worth while. Listen to what he says about col lege life: "Many people think that unless a person knows definitely what he is going to do when he.enters a univer sity, he should not cbmc. I don't feel that way. Any student will pick up a few smatterings of education and culture on account of environment. To my mind, the individual who gets everything out of college, except edu cation, is far better equipped for life than the person who gets nothing but education. I don't mean to belittle education, but I do mean to say that education is not the only factor to consider." Scenario Writing This man Corrigan has a personal ity that is' pleasing and makes him one of the easiestjmen in Hollywood to interview. He makes you feel like he in having a friendly chat and en joying it immensely. The writer talked etith Lloyd Cor rigan for about an hour while he was on the set where Clara Bow's 'Red Hair," a picture which he adapted from Elinor Glyn's story, was being filmed.. Corrigan says that every scenario writer strives to produce an original story. While this is the aim of every writer, there are two other types of 'stories. The first is adapting a story, book or play for a picture and the other type.of story work is assisting n novelist or playwright. Most writers know very little about the technique involved in writing for the screen and their work has to be changed before it can be used. The successful writer of scenarios knows camera angles, how to give the prop erty department tips on the properties needed, and to convey to the director the various types of action. College Men as Writers John Monk Saunders, a very suc cessful short story writer, decided to write sceneries, but before he started, he spent several months learning how pictures were made, and - how they should be written. His first two stor ies for Paramount, under whose ban ner he is writing, were "Wings," and "The Legion of the Condemned." Saunders is a Sigma Chi from the University of Washington. Unless a writer can produce orig inal stories his earnings are not very high. Most of the writers in Holly wood today are college graduates who have made names as short story writ ers, authors of feature articles or playwrights. While attending the University of California, Corrigan took an active part in - Little Theater work. Most of his time was spent as an actor, al though he wrote several short bits in the form of one act plays. Follow ing his graduation he entered motion picture. work, and for a number of months played with Raymond Griffith. While working on a picture he injur ed his foot, so turned to writing and since that time has been one of the lest consistent writers of stories for the screen. Time for Filming After a story has been written or a^ adaptation made, the average pic ture takes from three to five weeks to to filmed. The writer of the story works about two weeks on it and writer obtains a new idea, he writes it into the story sometimes even while then it goes to the title writer. The picture is taken to the cutter, he works about two weeks on it and New Cars Drive It Yourself NO INCREASE IN RATES Clemson Bros. Telephone 376 116 McAllister Street !then it goes to the title writer. The title writer has one of the most dim cult pieces of work to do of any indi !vidual working on a picture and his I work makes an interesting story. Lloyd Corrigan believes that the student who intends to do any writing should take all the English and psy chology he can get and engage in dra matics if possible, if for nothing more than to learn the things possible on a I stage, and the fundamentals which govern any play or picture. He be lieves that having experience, meet ' ing people and really living are as im portant as an • actual knowledge of English. Corrigan sees life from the standpoint of a young man, and his very ideas; which have brought him success, are marked and labeled with the brand and fire of youth. There seems to be one phase of mo tion picture work for. which college trained men and women are needed, according to Jim Collins, head of the Parkmount make-up department. The vetei-an of the Paramount studio says he can't think of a single college train ed man or woman who holds a re sponsible make-up position in Holly wood. Naturally, one is quite interested to find a department in which colleg ians play such a small part. Collins says that there aren't twenty good make-up artists in Hollywood. He says he has a harder time securing men than any other department of the. studio because good make-up men just can't be found. Make-up work requires years of ex perience, and small pay in the early years of work, and Collins finds that most college men and women want to start earning real money when they finish their schooling. Every man in his department is forty years old, or more, and some of theni have been in the make-up business nearly that long. Collins feels that a college training would help him since the greatest of many great Abilities, as he sees it, is to be able to meet people. Every day he must come in contact with a large number of people, and each one presents a different problem. This department is very complicated from the standpoint of unit work. All the wigs and hair styles are haridled by one man. All the odd expressions which come from false teeth, cars, eyes, etc., are handled by still another expert. Each step is handled by a specialist. • ' ; Make-up advances very rapidly and Collins says that Germany and France are now, where Hollywood , was ten years ago. Just because those court- Itries have famous artists and painters is no reason that they could surpass the United States in make-up, since they are entirely different Sciences. Collins names men like Emil. Jennings and Lon . Chaney as examples of make up experts who learned the secret through years of work on the stage. In short, if a college man wanted to become a make-up expert he would have to plan on spending ten or fif teen years just learning the funda mentals of the business. Studios are looking to the stage to produce make up experts. It seems that this is one little field where the college man and woman have little hopes of becoming a leader, unless years of work at small MOTHERS' DAY MAY 12th Make your mother the gift she will ap preciate---yes, will treasure • through the years---because its you MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO-DAY The PHO T O 44.t÷:4+, . • +.2.••.:+4.114+-:•+•:.1,r1-}4:^:^ pay doesn't seem too much of a handi :cap. Three of the six members of the Paramount studio art department are university graduates and Van Nest Polgiaze, head of department, says that when any new are needed ho wants college trained individuals. Polglaze, himself not a college man, says he finds the need of a university training every day. When he makes a report to the studio heads, to an art guild, or talks with a director he feels, he works under a handicap since it was not bis good fortune to have much schooling. The work of the art or architectural department in a motion picture plant I is varied and calls for a combination of artistic and business abilities above the ordinary. When a picture, or story for one is selected, a member of the art depart ment is assigned to the production and he is in charge of all the sets and the art work you see in the final picture. Fred Ford, a graduate of Yale, was in charge of the art work for Clara Bow's "Ladies of the WI)," which was directed by William Wellman. To be sure he had the right effect for the prison scenes, Ford spent two days and one night at the California state prison at Folsom.

TALK MONDAY (Continued from first page) 'r, and produced "Facing the Crises," ew Challenge to- Faith," "Makers Freedom," and "Religion and Social stice." • Phelps Comments on Speaker iMr.- Dryden Phelps, son of Dr. lion -Lyon Phelps, head of the Yale English department, heard a series of addresses by Dr. Eddy at Asilomar and commenting afterward said, "Eddy lis neither genius nor giant, It ap pears almost obvious that he has been caught by a power and a way of life neither too lofty nor too intricate for even the average fellow. That power is Christ, and the way of life is Chris tian but lived-without eqtrivocation , or excuse, daily renewed, daily expand-, ing. I, came away from the confer ence asking the 'question, 'Why are there not morn Eddyo?'" :Dr. Eddy is Associate General See rotary of - the National Council of the Y. M. C. A. He maintains his office at 347 Madison Avenue, New York City, arid finances all his travelling expens es from his personal income. He does not receive a salary for his present work, nor did he accept a remunera tion for his activity in the Orient. Physical vigor, and mental alertness are two of the ideal's of Dr. Eddy. s H Nolan Hardware +1 Mr. Phelps declares that he is fifty eight but looks forty-tWo. "Eddy doesn't need to argue, as his intense sincerity is absolutely convincing," Mr. Phelps stated. "Today his Gospel is simpler, more direct, more human and has a keener cutting edge than ten years ago." . Dr. Eddy himself says, "When I get up in the morning, I eat, breathe deep ly, exercise. I take a cold shower and do a little shadow boxing. So, in here (pointing to his heart) I nourish my self by reading the Bible, I breathe deeply—that's prayer, I exercise— that is sharing this life with others. That is all there is to it."
